Karl Rove defends rectal feeding. Karl used to get rectally-fed at afternoon "Tea Dances" in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of DC. Guys known as "hairy bears" would rectally feed Karl until he squealed like a pig. This information came from a senior editor of The Washington Times who was not permitted to run with the story.
Michael Hayden defends rectal rehydration. That's because Hayden likely attended Dick Cheney's rectal rehydration parties at which female prostitutes squirted on glass top tables. Maybe Hayden got his expertise on this fetish when he was getting it on with "Captain AmErika" in Sarajevo in the 90s.

BRUSSELS
– In Ukraine are growing doubts as to the policy of the German Federal
government. Kiev is particularly frustrated about statements made by
foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier (SPD) at the beginning of this
week which rejected the idea of NATO membership for Ukraine. The
Ambassador of Ukraine to the European Union in Brussels, Konstantin
Yeliseev, told Die Welt:
"I can’t understand
why the German foreign Minister Steinmeier wants to exclude NATO
membership for Ukraine. This remark Mr Steinmeier made a few days ago is
surprising and disappointing. Each partner country, including Germany,
should respect the choice of a sovereign state such as Ukraine..."
Sovereign state? In the past year we would liken the Ukraine more to a playground of clandestine agencies' "fun and games". German foreign minister Steinmeier seems to be coming to the realization that this is no game...
Global Post: Germany wants NATO, Russia to restart dialogue
"We
now have very few ways of talking about events which come up suddenly,
for example military exercises, (aircraft) over-flights or the presence
of Russian warships around the world," German Foreign Minister Franz
Walter Steinmeier said.
"We no longer have
the possibility to determine what lies behind such moves and whether
they are cause for concern or not," he said on the sidelines of a NATO
foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels.
Steinmeier
warned that current contacts with Russia were even less than during the
Cold War and this should be changed so as to avoid events getting
"completely out of control."
We hope not this kind of "out of control"...
